Private practice physicians nationwide are facing mounting challenges that threaten their financial stability and ability to provide care, including declining reimbursements, rising operational costs, reduced bargaining power, and a shrinking patient base.
In 2024, 10 physician practices or clinics filed for bankruptcy—the highest number in six years—according to a report on Chapter 11 bankruptcy filings from healthcare restructuring advisory firm Gibbins Advisors. Additionally, Becker’s reported 22 physician practice closures that year.
At the Becker’s 32nd Annual Meeting: The Business and Operations of ASCs, taking place October 29-31 in Chicago, ASC leaders, surgeons and healthcare executives will explore strategies to drive growth, enhance operational performance, navigate reimbursement challenges and prepare for the future of ambulatory surgery.
